A urinal dedicated to politician Ajit Pawar by opponents

He has called it "the biggest mistake of his political life" but Ajit Pawar, the Deputy Chief Minister of Maharashtra, isn't being forgiven for mocking the water and power problems defeating the state's farmers.

A urinal in Jalna, a part of Marathwada mangled by drought, has been named after the leader, retribution for his asking sarcastically "should we urinate" when discussing the poverty of water.

A poster on the urinal, put up by Arvind Kejriwal's Aam Aadmi Party, says: "AJIT URINAL, Aam Aadmi Party Jalna protests Ajit Pawar's statement of offering urine to the parched, drought stricken people." At a rally, Mr. Pawar had ridiculed a man who has spent nearly two months on a hunger strike, demanding that the state release water for his farm and others. He had said that, ‘there is this person from Solapur, sitting on hunger strike for 55 days demanding water be released from the dam. But where are we going to get water from? Should we urinate? And when we don't have water to drink, it's hard to pass urine as well’.

If there is no water in the dam...Should we urinate into it? -- Deputy CM speech

Maharashtra Deputy Chief Minister Ajit Pawar stirred up a controversy  when he said "If there is no water in the dam...Should we urinate into it?" Mr Pawar had said this in context to a two-month-long protest by a farmer, who is demanding dam water for his parched field. After much outrage, he apologised saying "These remarks were not made for drought-affected people."
Here are the reactions to Mr Pawar's comments:
Sharad Pawar, President, Nationalist Congress Party (NCP)
I duly apologise on the behalf of Deputy Chief Minister of Maharashtra for the unwanted comment that he had made.
Prabhakar Deshmukh, fasting farmer on whom Ajit Pawar made the remark
Ajit Pawar was voted in to solve the people's problems, not make such remarks. Why is water being provided to a liquor factory and not farmers?
Shaina NC, BJP leader
Instead of saying that I stand by the public he makes comments like this. This is the lowest of low in Maharashtra politics.
Shabana Azmi, actor and activist (on Twitter)
Ajit Pawar's remark has touched an all-time low in crassness. Trivialising drought in Maharashtra and audience laughing! Disgusting.
Farhan Akhtar, actor (on Twitter)
Ajit Pawar fancies himself as a stand-up comic. I think his party should take his cue, sack him and let him follow his dream.
